Every morning, FedEx trucks park in the bike lane and sort packages. This morning there were 5 trucks parked in the bike lane. This causes danger to cyclists who have to veer into traffic on this major bike route.

urgent...someone is intentionally destroying the street trees...this is the 2nd on, cut halfway through with a saw and ripped down...1st was at corner of Bond and Bowery. Please alert Police and Parks.

For the whole two miles east from the Holland Tunnel all the way past Chrystie Street, traffic is three cars wide and the drivers block each grid throughout weekends, and THEY HONK CONTINUOUSLY.
Rarely traffic cops are assigned to direct the flow, though cops are sometimes observing cell phone use of drivers, they usually stay in the shade in a group of 4, or inside their cars parked on the sidestreet. The honking noise is horrible. There are DOT signs posted that there is a '$350 FINE FOR HONKING' , at Broadway and Broome, and two 'NO HONKING SIGNS" up Lafayette and Prince near the Fire Department, and why is a 'NO HONKING $350 FINE' sign posted on Thompson Street (West of West Broadway) a one-lane North-South street?! WHY don't they enforce the no honking and get those good fines?

Every time it rains, the sidewalk in front of Starbucks, to the left of the news stand kiosk and right in front of the downtown 6 station floods. That area has high foot traffic and is difficult to navigate around the flood without dangerously stepping into the road.

Every single day there is chaos on Broome St. as traffic from the closed Hudson St. Holland Tunnel entry is diverted. The din of the honking alone makes life difficult for the hundreds of people who live and work here. One traffic cop at the intersection of Broadway would go a long way towards fixing this problem.

Every single morning the post office parks trucks in the crosswalk at the corner and obscures the walk/don't walk signal, and blocks the crosswalk making it dangerous to cross the street right across from a school.

This is 5pm Thanksgiving and the drivers going west to the tunnel have lined up along Broome St and impatiently honked incessantly one leaves off as the nest starts up, since about 9 this morning. SHown, they block the grid: green light, but North bound car cannot cross them. PEDESTRIANS have to weave through tight knit of cars. The driver of one was texting and when he sensed the traffic move DID'NT LOOK UP WHILE HE RELEASED THE BRAKE AND STARTED ROLLING FORWARD, which would have HIT ME crossing with the light, except that I was on the lookout and dodged successfully. THIS IS DANGEROUS! You would not live like this - why make us???
